Leaving in a bit for an appointment with the dentist. It's never a pleasant visit since I had my jaw replaced. There's not a single procedure that they do that isn't painful. Oh well, it is what it is. Sorry if this is a downer post but it's where I'm at this morning. To make the trip to town and the dentist more enjoyable, I'm gonna carry this A. Wright two-blade Lambfoot in a nice belt sheath by Victorinox. No breakfast this morning. Gotta be all sparkly for the dentist.

I feel your pain, my friend🥴
 
Enjoy your morning Jack...you cannot disappoint tool man.
Thanks Bob, I even bought him chips! :D ;) :thumbsup:
Jack Black,
I like both the button and the lamb‘s foot knife 👍
Thank you :) :thumbsup:


Thank you, Jack. I've been around, just doing a bit more reading and a bit less posting.


I was thinking today as I was getting ready to do some outside chorin', I (like many others here) am supremely fortunate in that I can be afforded such broad variety and choices in cutting tools. However, if I had to be stuck with just a couple, I'd be pretty content with some variation of the setup below - a person can get a lot done with these tools.

Fair enough mate, I'm glad you're OK :) Terrific trio :cool: I'm sure that if George Sears had been familiar with the Lambsfoot pattern, he would have pocketed no other pocket knife! ;) :D :thumbsup:
May have to break out the old climbing gear Jack! 😄👍
Todd, I had a merino wool base layer, a thick wool sweater, a down vest, and a parka rated to -4F, far more than I would ever wear in the mountains, and I can't say that I was still toasty warm when I got back from a 7 hour stint in the market! 🥶 ;):thumbsup:
Thank you very much, Jack!!! :) :thumbsup:

A highly attractive Ebony and Ivory pairing for your mid week adventures; I assume you sliced into that tasty treat shortly after this posting! :cool:;)👍👍
Many thanks JJ, my first mince pie of the season! :) :thumbsup:
Bundle up well and slice through the ice with your two hard working beefy jack beauties; love the Idle Working button, as well! :cool: ;) 👍👍
Thank you very much my friend :) :thumbsup:
I'm toting these two wood wearing French cutters today. :)
Two classics, which complement each other beautifully :) :thumbsup:
It was in the mid sixties here yesterday and today. I have an idea we are going to pay before long. Put on a warm coat and maybe a wool pocket slip for the lamb ................ and stay warm !
You should have it covered with your stout knife choices for Thursday. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:😊 Buck 110 for ice chippin'. ;) 😊
Many thanks Mr P, the beefy Jacks got me home safe and sound ;) :) :thumbsup:

I don’t know if I’ll actually use the Camillus Hawkbill. Yesterday, a machete and long handled pruners got most of the work as I tackled my blackberry jungle. Removed all of the dead canes, and cut three wide paths so I can get in there to pick berries next summer. I figure opening it up to more air and light should help. I laid cardboard on the paths, and buried it with a thick layer of woodchips. Of course, the tenacious canes will push through it, but I should get a season or two of clear paths before I have to do it again.
Today, I plan to go and prune the wild black raspberry thickets.
 
Rags to riches. 😊:

As I was coming home from eating breakfast this morning, I had already crossed the railroad tracks and was 2 blocks from home. Out of the blue, I thought that maybe I had time to run by the Rags to Riches Antique store. I had not been there in a long while and I thought I might find something nice for my son and his wife for Christmas. They get a lot of estate items there, some priced reasonable and some priced high. I stayed there for about 45 minutes, failing to find anything that I might buy as a gift. As I was headed for the door, I walked by a glass display case and noticed this set of Russell knives, all inside a little leather box and high on a shelf. I had failed to bring my close up glasses, just my driving glasses, and could make out the stampings good enough to tell they had some pedigree to them. The whole straight line set is stamped J. Russell & Co., Green River Works, which dates them from 1886-1941. It is a rare find to uncover knives like this in my local area. I came home with The whole set, which includes two more of the natural bone handled knives. Elijah J. liked them. 😊
